Below are the key tips we recommend to keep your streams stable, high-quality, and stress-free.
Keep your setup simple
Most issues come from hardware, not OBS
Fewer cables, adapters, and devices = fewer things that can break
Use direct cables
Always use the correct cable type for your camera
Example: Micro HDMI → HDMI cable (not an adapter)
Avoid adapters unless absolutely necessary
Adapters can cause lag, audio/video sync issues, and overheating (avoid using these)
Use a powered hub
Live streaming is power-intensive
Use a hub that plugs into the mains (not bus-powered)
Minimum recommended ports:
HDMI (camera)
Audio input (e.g. 3.5mm)
USB-C output
We recommend the ATEM Mini Pro
Use a powerful computer
OBS + live video needs strong processing power
Lower-spec machines can cause dropped frames and crashes
Video
Use good lighting
Set exposure and white balance before going live
Audio
Use OBS noise suppression if needed
Avoid capturing the same audio source twice

Copy the highlighted settings exactly


You can get the values for these settings from your room on the Seller Portal. The most important is that you use Custom service

Stream settings
Use Custom as the service
Stream URL and key can be found in your Seller Portal room

Start stream
Click “Start Streaming” in OBS

Click “Stop Streaming” when finished
